    I had the same issue after losing my originals — all my site images had that stubborn watermark baked in. I ended up using "VisioMint" on laptop, and honestly, its AI "Remove Watermark" tool cleaned them up in seconds without blurring or messing up the background, I like it!

Removing watermarks from photos can be a tedious task, but don't worry, I've got you covered. Here are some methods to remove watermarks from photos on Windows 11:

1. Adobe Photoshop Express
Adobe Photoshop Express is a free photo editing software that offers a "Remove Watermark" tool. While it's not perfect, it can help you remove simple watermarks.

  • Download and install Adobe Photoshop Express from the Microsoft Store.
  • Open the app and select the photo with the watermark.
  • Go to Tools > Edit > Remove Watermark.
  • Adjust the settings and click Apply.

 

2. Canva 
Canva is a popular online graphic design platform that also offers a photo editing tool. You can use the "Remove Watermark" feature to remove simple watermarks.

  • Go to Canva.com and log in or create an account.
  • Select the photo with the watermark and click Upload.
  • Click on Edit and select Remove Watermark from the toolbar.

 

3. Manual Editing
If you don't want to use software or online tools, you can try manual editing to remove the watermark. This method requires patience and attention to detail.

  • Open the photo in Windows Photos or a similar app.
  • Use the Crop tool to select the area around the watermark and remove it.
  • Use the Healing Brush or Clone Brush tools to retouch the area.
  • Remember that manual editing may not produce perfect results, especially if the watermark is complex or large.
